Alldredge Family Reunion 2011

We went up to Cedar Mountain for a day of fun with the Alldredge Family!  We had a great time!

The minuet we opened the truck door we were hit with the frigid Cedar City temperature...(85 degrees LOL!) So we threw on our coats and got out to play.  There was this HUGE meadow full of wild flowers.  The kids were in heaven running though it.  So fun!  The colors were awesome!
Tammy saved the day and was the hit of the party with her homemade rocket launcher.  Each kid got to make their own rocket and launched it up there.  It was so much fun!
Those rockets could really fly!  They went so far up there!  Who knew a rolled up piece of paper and some duct tape could do that?
Cute boys with their treasures.  They were over the moon with their rockets!
(No pun intended LoL!)
Dustin trying his hand at horseshoes with Dallin
Dustin and Grandpa were good sports getting all these little guys ready to fish!  It was quite the fiasco getting worms on four hooks and getting them tossed out there and then trying to keep them from crossing each others lines!  Grandpa only had to duck and cover three times trying to keep out of the slimy worms way as the boys tried to cast their own lines.  Good memories! :)
Dallin learned to cast the hook by himself!  He got really good by the end of the afternoon.  He is getting so big! The little boy is growing right out of him.  Makes me sad sometimes.  Where has the time gone?
I was content to sit and take pictures of all the pretty flowers!  The colors were awesome!  It was just what I needed.  A little fresh air and sunshine and the mountains.  Perfect day!
Alex trying to be VERY PATIENT!  He would ask every two minuets or so, "Mom!  When are we going to catch a fish?!?"  Like I had it planned out or something.  It was funny!
Dustin teaching the little dudes how to fish.  So cute!
Zeke and Grandpa Having a chat...





Everyone finally settled down and fishing.  Sweet memory.
Dustin trying to catch a few with some marshmallows.  He said they were biting on them, but then it was time to go the auction so we made him pack it up...LOL!
"Grandma Great" and all her kids.
Back row: Micheal - Alan - Dennis - Jerry
Font Row: Evonne - Darlene - "Grandma Great" - Nancy - Jeanie
The auction is the best part of the whole reunion!  Everyone looks forward to all the fun handmade things everyone brings to sell.  This year Dustin's dad was the auctioneer...he did a great job!


Dallin bid on this cool gun and got it for less than the sticker price on the package.  It turned out to be a pretty heavy duty cap gun.  He was ecstatic!  He's worn it around for days! Maybe he's still a little boy after all...
Look at those colors!  Beautiful!
